Back in 2011, I leaned wholeheartedly into what had always consumed me: reading, writing, and revising. Since then, I’ve had the blessed opportunity to coach thousands of fiction and nonfiction writers. The 4-H motto I embraced at an early age, “to make the best better,” still echoes in my life today, shaping how I teach, encourage, and support others in their writing journeys.

When not indulging my addiction to reading and wordsmithing, I can be found somewhere in Northern Colorado hanging out with my best friend and husband or off visiting our kids and grandkids in DC, Denver, or Dallas.
